Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (shin) is "doing better," and he expects the wide receiver to play Sunday at Philadelphia, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Lockett is in recovery mode from a shin contusion that caused him to miss overtime of the Seahawks' Week 10 win at San Francisco. Subsequent swelling in the region forced a hospital stay, but he was able to return to Seattle last Wednesday. There's no telling how much, if any, practice time he'll get in this week, but Carroll's comments put a positive spin on Lockett's availability.

Samuel emerged from Sunday's 36-26 win versus the Cardinals with a shoulder injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Samuel missed some time in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game but still finished as the 49ers' leading wide receiver in terms of offensive snap share (79 percent), catches (eight), targets (10) and receiving yards (134). With an injury in tow, his status will be one to watch as the week rolls along, but there doesn't seem to be much worry about his availability for a Week 12 showdown with the Packers.

Shepard (concussion) was a full participant at Monday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The Giants won't release an official injury report until Wednesday, but the fact he was considered a full participant Monday backs up coach Pat Shurmur's optimism for a return this week. Regardless, the 25-year-old will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist at some point this week if he's going to play Sunday against the Bears. Shepard suffered his second concussion of the season Week 5 versus the Vikings and has missed the last five games.

Cooper is "still fighting through" his knee injury and played only 55 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Besides the Week 6 game against the Jets in which he played only three snaps, Sunday's snap percentage was Cooper's lowest of the season. The 25-year-old didn't have an injury designation for the game but was clearly impacted by it early in the contest, leading to the rotational workload. Cooper's status should receive additional updates once the Cowboys return to practice Wednesday, but Sunday's game against the Patriots would be a tough matchup even if fully healthy.

Campbell (hand) was estimated as a limited participated on Monday's injury report.

The Colts only held a walkthrough Monday, but the fact Campbell was expected to participate in some capacity is a good sign for his recovery from a fractured hand. The rookie second-round pick may not be able to return for Thursday's game at Houston due to the short week of preparation, but he appears on track for a return Week 13 as previously expected.

Treadwell did not have a reception and was targeted just once in Sunday's win over Denver.

Treadwell played just seven snaps on offense, as he's moved back to a deep reserve role after a surprising output in Week 9 with three receptions and five targets. He may not be active on game days if Adam Thielen returns from a hamstring injury after next week's bye.

Coach John Harbaugh said Moore has a broken thumb and could play in Week 12's Monday night game against the Rams, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Moore has missed two straight games with this injury, but Harbaugh's leaving the possibility open for him to get back into the fold. His practice status will be monitored this week, and the team won't reveal its first injury report until Thursday. Moore enjoyed an uptick in offensive usage while Marquise Brown (ankle) sat out, but he'll likely revert to a specialist role once he's healthy again.

Cole caught four of five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Colts.

The 26-year-old worked as the team's No. 4 wide receiver with Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) returning to action, but he still posted solid numbers in 25 snaps. Westbrook, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley all played at least twice as many snaps, and the Jaguars are unlikely to attempt 47 passes most weeks. Still, Cole's increased involvement in the offense is a solid sign should the receiving corps sustain additional injuries.

Smith-Schuster (concussion) also injured his knee last Thursday at Cleveland and may not be available for the Steelers' Week 12 contest at Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Smith-Schuster was already a question mark to play this Sunday due to being in the concussion protocol, but the knee injury adds a new wrinkle to his situation. According to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, Smith-Schuster was donning a bulky brace on his left knee Monday, so his practice participation will be one to watch once the Steelers take the field again Wednesday. With Diontae Johnson also in the protocol for head injuries, James Washington and Johnny Holton are the healthiest wideouts in this receiving corps at the moment.

Conley caught six of eight targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Colts.

The eight targets set a season high and trailed only D.J. Chark (15 targets) in the loss. Conley has typically been a boom-or-bust option this season, but he delivered modest production in Nick Foles' return Sunday. However, the Jaguars threw the ball 47 times while RB Leonard Fournette had only eight carries, which is unlikely to be a regular occurrence. Conley should continue to work as the team's No. 3 wide receiver, but his fantasy value is limited by the inconsistent production.
